Just because it’s a non-stop repeating decimal, it’s still a rational number because it can still be expressed as a fraction.
0.3 repeating can be written as 1/3.
This also forms the basis for one of the easier proofs that .9 repeating = 1
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1
.333333333333 + .333333333333 +.333333333333 = .9999999999999 = 1
